Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a battery charger monitor that monitors battery pack parameters during charging of a battery and, more particularly, to a battery charger monitor that monitors battery voltage, battery temperature and determines battery pack identification using an identification capacitor within the battery pack, where the battery pack identification and the battery temperature are monitored on a single line between the battery monitor and the battery pack.
- 4,388,582 and 4,392,101 both issued to Sar et al., and assigned to the assignee of the present invention, disclose a quick battery charging technique which monitors the charging of a battery pack by noting inflection points in a voltage charging curve as the electrical chemical potential within the battery cells changes with respect to time. By determining specific inflection points in the charging curve, it is possible to accurately terminate the charging when the battery pack is at full charge.
- the battery monitor may also determine other pieces of useful information, including battery pack temperature and battery pack identification.
- Monitoring battery pack temperature is useful because overheating the battery pack during charging can cause significant damage to the battery pack. Determining the battery pack identification is desirable to ascertain certain things such as maximum battery voltage and capacity, battery chemistry, manufacturing date, etc. This information can be used by a charging control algorithm controlling the charging process to aid in monitoring and adjusting the charging process.
- the prescaler circuit allows the battery charger to effectively monitor the battery voltage for a wide range of battery packs having varying voltages.
- U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/834,375 (US 5,874,825A) also discloses a technique for monitoring battery temperature using a similar analog-to-digital conversion method.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,489,834 issued to Pitkanen discloses a battery type and temperature identification circuit.
- the battery pack being charged includes a negative temperature coefficient resistor, a voltage divider resistor, and a fixed identification resistor electrically connected in a voltage divider circuit.
- the identification resistor is different for each different battery pack type, and provides the basis for determining battery type.
- An output voltage from the voltage divider circuit follows a particular curve set by the identification resistor as the temperature on the pack changes.
- the identification resistor is selected based on the battery pack type, and the values of the negative temperature coefficient resistor and voltage divider resistor are selected to be the same or nearly the same for each battery type, the different voltage curves at the output of the voltage divider circuit for the different battery types can be spaced apart. By determining which curve the output voltage follows for changes in temperature gives an indication of the battery pack identification.
- German Patent Application No. DE 42 25 686 A1 published March 3, 1994 discloses a circuit for recognizing and charging a battery pack, where the battery pack includes a temperature dependent resistor and an identification capacitor.
- a microprocessor applies a DC voltage signal to the battery pack to determine the resistive value of the temperature dependent resistor.
- a square wave signal is applied to the battery pack, and the impedance is measured.
- Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 1995, no.03, 28 April 1995 (1995-4-28) - & JP06333604A discloses a method for determining the identity of a battery pack, comprising the steps of initiating the charging of a capacitor C, waiting a period of time T 1 and measuring a voltage output of the battery pack after time T 1 , to determine whether the voltage output has increased rapidly and thereby determine the presence of the capacitor and therefore the identity of the battery pack.
- Patent Abstracts of Japan voL 018, no. 003 (E-1485), 6 January 1994 (1994-01-06) - & JP 05 251113A (Matsushita Electric Ind Co Ltd), 28 September 1993 (1993-09-28) discloses a battery pack and a charging apparatus for identifying batteries, comprising an identifying capacitor which is inserted into a battery back, and a resistor forming part of the charger.
- a microcomputer determines the identity of the battery pack based upon the charging time.
- What is needed is a battery charger monitor circuit that is able to charge a battery pack in the charger, monitor the voltage of the battery, monitor the temperature of the battery, and provide an indication of the battery pack identification in and efficient and cost effective manner, and doesn't suffer the drawbacks of the prior art devices discussed above. It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide such a battery monitor circuit.
- the battery monitor uses a thermistor in combination with an AC circuit component (i.e. one that exhibits a reactance), such as a capacitor or an inductor, to determine battery pack temperature and battery pack identification.
- an AC circuit component i.e. one that exhibits a reactance
- the resistance of the thennistor is measured when the battery pack circuit is in a steady-state condition.
- an AC signal is applied to the battery, pack circuit under a dynamic circuit condition to identify the AC circuit component and identify the battery pack.
- the temperature of the battery pack and the identification of the battery pack can be determined on a single line.
- a first voltage divider network including a reference capacitor, where an output voltage of the first voltage divider network is applied to one terminal of a comparator.
- a second voltage divider network is provided that is electrically connected to the battery pack.
- the second voltage divider network includes a thermistor positioned within the battery pack at a location suitable to take battery pack temperature measurements, and a plurality of resistors within the battery monitor circuit. The output of the second voltage divider network is applied to another terminal of the comparator.
- the resistive value of the thermistor can be determined based on the output of the comparator. This resistive value is representative of the temperature within the battery pack.
- the second voltage divider network and the comparator are also used to determine battery pack identification.
- An unknown identification capacitor that has a value unique to a particular battery pack is included in the battery pack, and is connected in circuit with the thermistor and the second voltage divider network.
- the battery monitor circuit can determine the capacitance value of the identification capacitor based on its discharge rate.
- One terminal of the comparator is switched to a low reference voltage potential once the identification capacitor has been charged and is at a steady state.
- the second voltage divider network includes a low value resistor that allows the identification capacitor to be quickly discharged. Once the voltage potential of the second divider network applied to the positive terminal of the comparator falls below the reference potential, the monitor can determine the value of the capacitor based on the known value of the resistances.
- the identification of the battery pack is determined by whether a thermistor and a capacitor exist in the battery pack circuit. To determine whether the thermistor is in the battery pack circuit, a voltage output of a voltage divider network is measured. If the measurement indicates that the thermistor does exist, then the voltage measurement is used to determine the resistance of the thermistor. To determine whether the capacitor exists in the battery pack circuit, the capacitor is first discharged, assuming that it does exist. Next, charging of the capacitor is initiated, and after a predetermined period of time, a voltage output of the battery pack circuit is measured to determine whether it is above or below a predetermined threshold value. If it is above the threshold value, then the capacitor does not exist, and if it is below the threshold the capacitor does exist.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a battery monitoring circuit 10 that is separated into a battery pack side 12 and a battery charger side 14, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the battery pack side 12 is electrically connected to the battery charger side 14 at three connections 16, 18 and 20, as shown.
- the battery monitor circuit 10 is used to monitor a battery pack 22 including a plurality of battery cells 24.
- the battery monitoring circuit 10 provides three major functions, including monitoring the charging process of the battery pack 22, determining the temperature of the battery pack 22, and identifying the battery pack 22.
- the connection 16 connects a battery pack voltage measuring and charging line
- the connection 18 connects a battery pack temperature and battery pack identification line
- the connection 20 provides a ground connection.
- the battery monitoring circuit 10 will include battery charging circuitry in association with the monitoring circuitry on the battery charger side 14.
- the battery pack identification can provide various desirable information, including battery chemistry, such as nickel cadmium, metal hydride, lithium, etc., number of cells 14, manufacturing date, rated voltage, etc.
- the battery monitoring circuit 10 is microprocessor controlled by a microprocessor 26.
- the microprocessor 26 can be any suitable microprocessor for the purposes described herein, and as will be well understood by those in the art, many different microprocessors are available for this purpose.
- Four of the microprocessor pins are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4 for purposes of the discussion herein. However, these pins will have different pin numbers depending on which microprocessor is used. As will be discussed in greater detail below, the battery pack temperature and the battery pack identification are both determined from a single connection at pin 2.
- the battery pack side 12 includes a battery pack circuit 30 in electrical connection with the battery pack 22.
- the battery pack circuit 30 includes an identification capacitor 32 and a thermistor 34.
- the thermistor 34 is a variable resistor that changes its resistance based on temperature, as is well understood in the art. Other types of temperature sensing devices may be applicable within the scope of the present invention, as would be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
- the identification capacitor 32 is specially selected to identify the battery pack 22, and thus has a different capacitive value depending upon the pack 22.
- the thermistor 34 is strategically placed within the battery pack 22 so as to provide a temperature reading of the pack 22. Thus, everything on the battery pack side 12 is removable from the actual battery charger as a single unit, and can be replaced with other battery packs.
- both the temperature of the battery pack 22 and the identification of the battery pack 22 are determined through a single connection to the battery charger side 14, here connection 18.
- the temperature of the battery pack 22 is measured when the battery pack circuit 30 is in a steady-state condition, where a DC signal is applied through the connection 18.
- the battery pack circuit 30 is put under a dynamic circuit condition to determine the value of the capacitor 32.
- the capacitor 32 can be replaced with another AC circuit component, such as an inductor.
- the battery charger side 14 of the battery monitoring circuit 10 includes a voltage attenuator 36 or prescaler circuit (resistor divider network) that is used to attenuate the output voltage of the battery pack 12 to be at or near a desirable voltage output.
- the attenuation of the voltage attenuator 36 can be selectively set so that the desirable voltage output is nearly the same for all battery packs 22 regardless of its actual voltage.
- This attenuated voltage is applied to the positive terminal of a comparator 38 at pin 1 of the microprocessor 26.
- the charging voltage applied to the battery pack 22 is applied through the connection 16 from a current source (not shown) to charge the battery pack 22.
- the battery charger side 14 of the battery monitor circuit 10 further includes an RC circuit 40.
- the RC circuit 40 includes a reference capacitor 42 having a known value, and resistors R 1 and R 2 also having known values that make up a voltage divider network within the circuit 40.
- the output voltage of the RC circuit 40 is applied to pin 4 of the microprocessor 26.
- the microprocessor 26 switches a switch 44 to a suitable reference potential, here a plus five volt potential, the capacitor 42 is charged through the resistor R 2 .
- the switch 44 is switched to a high impedance state, and the voltage of the capacitor 42 dissipates through the resistor R 1 at a known dissipation rate based on the values of the capacitor 42 and the resistors R 1 and R 2 .
- This capacitor dissipation voltage is applied to the negative (inverting) terminal of the comparator 38 through a switch 46.
- the microprocessor 26 begins counting at a predetermined clock pulse rate by an internal timer. Once the voltage potential of the capacitor 42 falls below the attenuated voltage of the battery pack 12, the output V out of the comparator 38 goes high, and the microprocessor 26 stores the number of counts.
- Resistors R 3 , R 4 and R 5 and the thermistor 34 make up a voltage divider network 48.
- the switch 44 is connected to the five volt reference potential to charge the capacitor 42, and pins 2 and 3 are set to a high impedance input state, i.e., open, so that the identification capacitor 32 on the battery pack side 12 is charged through the resistor R 3 .
- the thermistor 34 and the resistor R 4 are connected in parallel, and combine with the resistor R 3 to form the voltage divider network 48.
- the output of the voltage divider network 48 at pin 2 is now a function of the temperature of the battery pack 22.
- FIG. 2 A graph of this voltage divider output is shown in Figure 2, where the voltage output at pin 2 is on the vertical axis and temperature is on the horizontal axis. As is apparent, as the temperature increases, the resistance of the thermistor 34 goes down and the voltage divider output at pin 2 decreases.
- the analog voltage divider output at pin 2 is applied to the positive (noninverting) terminal of a comparator 50.
- the voltage signal from the RC circuit 40 is applied to pin 4 of the microprocessor 26, which in turn is applied to the negative (inverting) input terminal of the comparator 50 through the switch 46.
- the capacitor 42 is charged, and the switch 44 is switched to a high impedance state, the capacitor 42 begins to discharge, and the microprocessor 26 begins to count clock pulses.
- the comparator 50 switches high and the microprocessor 26 stores the count pulse as a digital conversion. This count pulse is a digital representation of the temperature.
- Figure 3 is a graph showing the voltage divider output at pin 2 in Log AD counts on the vertical axis and temperature on the horizontal axis. As is apparent, as the temperature goes up, the resistance of the thermistor goes down, the voltage output goes down and the digital count decreases.
- the comparators 38 and 50 and the switches 44 and 46 are shown internal to the microprocessor 26. This configuration is shown by way of a non-limiting example in that these components can be external to the microprocessor 26, and the outputs of the comparators 38 and 50 can be applied as inputs to the microprocessor 26. Further, the comparison between the various signals discussed above, and switching of the switches can be performed in software by programming the microprocessor 26. The depiction shown in Figure 1 is solely intended to give an understanding of the basic operation of the monitoring circuit 10 of the invention.
- the identification of the battery pack 22 is also determined at pin 2 of the microprocessor 26.
- pin 2 is set to a high impedance input state and pin 3 is set to a high output state by switching a switch 52 to a +5 volt potential.
- the thermistor 34 and the resistor R 4 are in parallel, and the resistor R 3 and R 5 are in parallel in the voltage divider circuit 48.
- the capacitor 32 is charged through the voltage divider circuit 48 by the high output state potential applied to the resistor R 3 and R 5 .
- a low reference voltage, here 0.2 volts, is applied to the negative terminal of the comparator 50 through the switch 46, and an internal timer of the microprocessor 26 is initialized.
- the capacitor 32 is discharged by setting pin 3 to a low output state by switching the switch 52 to ground and the internal timer is started.
- the charging and discharging of the capacitor 32 provides a changing or dynamic circuit electrical condition.
- the resistor R 5 has a much lower value than the thermistor 34 and the resistors R 3 and R 4 , the capacitor 32 discharges quickly through the resistor R 5 .
- the changing resistance of the thermistor 34 as the temperature changes does not have a significant effect on the discharge rate of the capacitor 32.
- the resistor R 5 has a value that is two magnitudes lower than the resistors R 3 and R 4 to provide this quick discharge.
- this is by way of a non-limiting example in that other values may be applicable for different designs.
- the comparator 50 switches high, and the timed count is stored. This count value represents a voltage discharge time of the capacitor 32. Because the values of R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and the thermistor 34 are known, the value of the capacitor 32 can be determined based on its discharge rate. Because different values for different capacitors will have different discharge times for the same resistor values, by inserting a known capacitor in association with the battery pack 22, the battery pack 22 can be identified.
- the values of the resistors R 3 and R 4 and the thermistor 34 are selected so that the voltage drop across the thermistor 34 falls within the common mode input voltage range of the comparator 50 and within the predicted temperature range of interest. However, these values are not optimized for measuring the voltage decay across the capacitor 32 due to a large temperature dependency. This is apparent by viewing the graph shown in Figure 4, depicting the decay times versus temperature for different values of the capacitor 32 without the resistor R 5 . This shows that without the lower value resistor R 5 , the temperature change on the thermistor 34 has a great effect on the discharge time of a capacitor having different values. Without the resistor R 5 , the process would consume a large amount of software resources when modeled as a microcontroller program, although it would work.
- the decay time temperature dependency can be dramatically reduced by the addition of the resistor R 5 .
- one terminal of the resistor R 5 can be set high when the resistors R 3 and R 5 are in parallel, or set low when the thermistor 34 and resistors R 4 and R 5 are in parallel to dynamically alter the output of the voltage divider circuit 48.
- the voltage divider circuit 48 is optimized for temperature readings. By making the resistor R 5 small in comparison to the thermistor 34, and by setting pin 3 high or low, the voltage divider circuit 48 is optimized for measuring the discharge time of the capacitor 32.
- the resistor R 5 Because the value of the resistor R 5 is small, it "overrides” the effects of the other resistances in the voltage divider circuit 48, including the thermistor 34. This fast charging and discharging through the resistor R 5 results in a capacitor decay time temperature independence as shown in the graph of Figure 5.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a battery monitoring circuit 60 that is separated into a battery pack side 62 and a battery charger side 64.
- the battery pack side 62 is electrically connected to the battery charger side 64 at three separate connections 66, 68 and 70, as shown.
- the battery monitoring circuit 60 is used to monitor a battery pack 72 that includes a plurality of battery cells 74.
- the connection 66 connects a battery pack voltage measuring and charging line
- the connection 68 connects a battery pack temperature and battery pack identification line
- the connection 70 provides a ground connection.
- the battery monitoring circuit 60 is microprocessor controlled by a microprocessor 76.
- the microprocessor 76 can be any suitable microprocessor for the purposes described herein, such as the Zilog Z86C83, known to those skilled in the art.
- Five of the microprocessor pins are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for purposes of discussion herein. However, these pins will have different pin numbers depending on which microprocessor is used.
- the battery pack 72 is charged by a control signal applied to pin 1 to turn on a current source 78.
- the voltage of the battery pack 72 is measured at pin 2 of the microprocessor 76 using a 12-bit log A/D converter 80 in the same manner as described above.
- the details of the charging and charge monitoring of the battery pack 72 can be any suitable technique known in the art consistent with the battery monitoring circuit 60.
- the battery pack side 62 includes an identification capacitor 82 and a thermistor 84, just as with the embodiment described above.
- the monitoring circuit 60 does not identify the battery pack 72 by determining the actual capacitance of the capacitor 82, but determines the identity of the battery pack 70 by whether the capacitor 82 exists, regardless of its value, and whether the thermistor 84 exists.
- the temperature of the pack may not need to be determined, or may be determined by indirect thermal sensing or other thermal sensing techniques, and thus the thermistor 84 is not needed. Since the identification capacitor 82 only has the purpose of determining the identity of the battery pack 72, the capacitor 82 can also be eliminated.
- both the thermistor 84 and the capacitor 82 can be eliminated. Accordingly, a first type of battery pack can be identified by determining that it does not have a thermistor or a capacitor, a second type of battery pack can be identified by determining that it has a thermistor and no capacitor, and a third type of battery pack can be identified by determining that it has both a thermistor and a capacitor.
- the charger side 64 of the monitoring circuit 60 includes a circuit 86 that includes a pull-up resistor R 6 , connected to a five volt potential and resistors R 7 and R 8 electrically connected as shown, that combine with the thermistor 84 to define a voltage divider network.
- the resistor R 8 is electrically removed from the circuit 86 by setting an analog/digital I/O at pin 4 of the microprocessor 76 to a high impedance. Then, the thermistor 84 and the resistor R 6 divide the +5 volt potential.
- the divided voltage is measured at pin 3 of the microprocessor 76, where the voltage is applied to an 8-bit analog/digital converter 88 that converts the voltage to a digital representation readable by the microprocessor 76.
- An 8-bit A/D converter is used in this embodiment because it provides a good absolute accuracy, although it has less resolution than the A/D converters identified above. Because the value of R 6 is known, if the thermistor 84 did not exist in the battery pack side 62, then the thermistor 84 would not act to divide the voltage. The microprocessor 76 would determine this by the value stored in the A/D converter 88. Likewise, if the thermistor 84 does exist in the battery pack side 62, a different value will be stored in the A/D converter 88. Therefore, the microprocessor 76 can identify whether the thermistor 84 exists or not.
- the monitoring circuit 60 will determine the temperature of the battery pack 72 by the resistance of the thermistor 84. Because the resistance value of the thermistor 84 will change based on the temperature of the pack 72, values stored in the A/D converter 88 will change based on the resistance value of the thermistor 84, giving an indication of the pack temperature in the manner as described above.
- the monitoring circuit 60 determines that the thermistor does not exist in the battery pack side 62, then it is determined that the battery pack 72 is a particular battery pack type, such as a nickel cadmium battery pack. If the monitoring circuit 60 determines that the thermistor 84 does exist in the battery pack side 62, it will then determine if the thermistor 84 has a value that falls within a certain range. If the resistive value of the thermistor 84 is within the range, the circuit 60 then determines whether the capacitor 82 does or doesn't exist. First, pin 4 is set as an output low to discharge the capacitor 82 through pin 4, assuming that it does exist. In this configuration, the pin 4 is a digital output.
- Pin 3 of the microprocessor 76 is then set to a high impedance input to remove that connection from the circuit 86.
- pin 4 is set to an analog high impedance input.
- the five voltage potential applied to the resistor R 6 begins to charge the capacitor 82.
- a voltage reading is then taken at pin 4 by an 8-bit analog/digital converter 90 a predetermined period of time after the pin 4 is set to an input, to measure the voltage of the circuit 86.
- the predetermined period of time is less than the time it takes the capacitor 82 to fully charge and the circuit 86 to reach steady state.
- the microprocessor 76 If the measured voltage is above a predetermined threshold when the time period has elapsed after the pin 4 is set to an analog input, then the microprocessor 76 knows that the capacitor 82 does not exist in the battery pack 62 because the voltage of the circuit 86 increased too fast. If the voltage at pin 4 is below the predetennined threshold, then the microprocessor 76 makes a determination that the capacitor 82 does exist.
- the capacitor 82 is 10 ⁇ f and the threshold value is 0.7V.
- Figure 7 shows a graph with voltage V on the vertical axis and time t on the horizontal axis.
- the capacitor 82 is discharged by making pin 4 an output low as discussed above.
